B: Hi. Hope I'm not coming back too late.
4: No problem. Did you take a taxi?
B: No, I walked back. Well, jogged, actually, since I'm in such a great mood! The show was fantastic!
3: You walked the whole way?
B: Only took seven minutes. The fog was really lovely, too. It's great out there. But I think I'm going to collapse. Whew!
M: Well, I'm glad you liked it. Do you want me to unlock the lounge for you?
B: Actually, it would probably be better for everyone involved if I could bathe first, what with the heat and the lack of open windows in that room and all that.
M: Oh, sure, no problem. The bathrooms are right next door. Do you need a towel or anything?
B: I'll need soap, but I think I have my towel. Well, I'm pretty sure I packed it... Hmm. Yeah, soap and a towel.
M: Here you go-- soap, shampoo, and a towel. If you want to come back afterwards and join us for some sherry, you're more than welcome.
B: Oh, you're too kind, my good man. Thanks.
3: Is that a footprint on your shirt?
B: Yeah, I think so. Looks more like a boot, actually. Yeah, it's probably a bootprint.
4: What happened?
B: Oh, it wasn't a fight or anything. I was standing right up front when the Toasters played, and the stage came up to here, and the floor was concrete with beer spilled all over it, and I guess someone just stepped off me to help push himself onto the stage. No problem, really. Well, I mean, it was a new shirt and all, but I bet the mud and the beer will all wash out.
3: Where did your suspenders go?
B: I just unstrapped them-- they're hanging back here. Don't worry, my clothes are fine. So was your flannel. Thanks again.
M: Don't mention it.
